Mobility X1600 drivers
in [ATI Video Cards]
|
From: Darren on 9 Apr 2006 07:08 Anyone know which drivers you need to download for Laptops? The mobility driver on the web site does not have the X1600 listed (older pre X1000 cards only) and the standard drivers will not recognise the card when you attempt to load them?

From: vellu on 9 Apr 2006 09:35 I found new drivers for my laptop ASUS A6Ja which has exactly the same graphics chip from Asus website directly, under downloads for this particular laptop model. Try Acer website for updated drivers. Odd that Ati doesn't release generic mobility drivers for X1000 series (yet), but instead manufacturer branded drivers. I did try Omega drivers and they did seem to work otherwise, but the TV-out (s-video) stopped working properly. That could actually be related to why generic drivers don't work; different laptop manufacturers have slightly different output electronics. My Asus has three video outputs: RGB, DVI and S-video. How about your Acer? Ps. Impressive gfx performance for a laptop imo. Has almost double the speed on certain benchmarks when compared with my desktop PC which has 6600GT. Though the Centrino Duo on the laptop propably plays a big part on that.

As you can see a very big difference in CPUMarks (4576 vs 1791) which is to be expected since my 2400+ is getting a bit old and the mobo only supports DDR266 memory speed. 3DM'06 shows a similar performance difference, just the numbers are smaller.
